IFWiki talk:Replacing dead links: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:13, 5 December 2022

You can discuss the "Replacing dead links" page here.

Question: How do I replace the broken link?

Question:

I went to the status page for broken links. If say that I were to find a link that can be used to replace the broken link...

- How do I find the page that contains the broken link?

- If I have to use a template, how do I actually do that?

I'm still very green when it comes to wiki coding.

No problem. Thanks for offering to help. The status page is Special:RottenLinks. The third column is headed "Page Usage" and contains a number, which is the number of times the link appears on the wiki. If you click on the number it'll take you to a page listing the relevant wiki pages. You can click on any of those pages, and from there make your edits. If you have to use a template you'd have to request template editor rights, but it would make sense to get a feel for editing normal pages first (or just ask here for the change to be made).
